Gump should be called Grump. He bit me at the vet’s, I think it was related to the pain he is in. His temperature was 98.6! Great for humans, not so for kitties. His gums are pink and happy, he has stool in his colon, he was bright and alert and the vet is as stumped as I am. They gave him a shot for pain- seems his tummy is quite sore when you palpate it. They will also deworm him and start him on kitty antacid (sulcrafate). He is in isolation and if he hasn’t eaten by tomorrow, the vet will call me and we will discuss other options; blood work, x-rays or other diagnostic tests. The vet is leaning toward either a gastric ulcer, stress or pancreatitis. I hope it is nothing serious. He is a sweet boy even though he bit me. Will let you know how it goes with him as soon as I know something-
At the vet
Uh oh, look at those ears…gump is definitely looking grumpy. Hope he feels better soon!
The poor fellow. He looks like he’s normally a very sweet cat. I hope things improve for him quickly.
